Dr. Matthew Paldy I work with individuals and couples suffering from grief, trauma, and emotional wounds that often lie beneath everyday functioning. My practice is grounded in a depth-oriented, relational approach that honors both conscious experience and the powerful, often unspoken forces of the unconscious. My work is shaped by two guiding principles: * Deep Listening: A psychoanalytic approach that helps you understand how loss, trauma, and early experiences live on inside you—shaping your feelings, relationships, and sense of self. * Trauma-Informed Care: A sensitive, attuned, and collaborative process that respects the impact of trauma on the body, mind, and relationships. Together, our work can help you: Process grief, loss, and traumatic experiences that may feel overwhelming, frozen, or unresolved. Make sense of emotional pain that can feel confusing, isolating, or impossible to put into words. Reconnect with your inner strengths, capacities, and capacity for meaning, even in the aftermath of suffering. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, memories, relationships, and hopes for the future. I see therapy as a shared journey in which you are not alone with your pain. It is deeply meaningful to accompany my clients as they mourn, heal, and gradually rediscover connection, purpose, and vitality in their lives. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, lived human understanding, and deep respect for how difficult grief and trauma can be. My hope is that together we can better understand your story, give voice to what has been silenced, and help you move forward in ways that feel authentic, safe, and meaningful.

My hope is that we can work together to better understand your story and move your life forward in meaningful new ways.

In my 19 years of experience, I have come to realize that for many people the idea of trusting someone with their personal struggles and life issues can be very scary. It takes courage to reach out for professional help when life's challenges are more than you can handle on your own. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone outside your immediate circle of family and friends. You may be stressed about your marriage, children, family, relationship, job, health, or finances. Maybe you have suffered a severe trauma or loss. Perhaps you have a tough decision to make and need some guidance. All of these issues can be addressed in therapy. Helping others has been my life's work. Professional training and education, coupled with a vast array of personal life experiences, gives me the wisdom and compassion to connect with clients in a therapeutic way. I see you as a person on a life journey toward meaning and happiness, not as a problem list. This work is a privilege for me. A healing relationship with a compassionate therapist can provide you with the safety, support and guidance you need to create lasting change in your life. Individual Family, and Couple therapy are the modalities I use to help clients regain their ability to handle daily life stressors and emotional problems. I have extensive experience helping people with a variety of life challenges that include the treatment of: Relationship issues Depression Low self esteem Anxiety Work related issues Grief and loss Problem solving Addiction Trauma

As a certified cognitive therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Cognitive Therapy was created by Aaron Beck, MD at the University of Pennsylvania , but now practiced as the primary form of therapy all over the world. "Cognitive" literally means knowing or thinking, so CT emphasizes directly changing how we think. By changing how we think, we can change our emotional and behavioral reactions. CT emphasizes interventions such as, evidence based thinking, hypothesis testing our thoughts, activity scheduling and prediction. It is the most scientifically proven therapy and the "Gold Standard" treatment for depression and anxiety disorders; scientifically proven controlled research trials have shown its effectiveness is often comparable to medication therapy. CT has also gone on to accumulate hundreds of proven effective results for anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, phobias, marital discord, ADHD, and aspergers syndrome, etc. Joseph is credentialed by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. The only national credentialing organization standardizing Cognitive Therapy. Since CT has become the most proven and recommended type of therapy, many psychotherapists now claim to know how to do CT, unfortunately very few are actually credentialed or trained to do so.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS Neuropsychological evaluations are a crucial component in understanding the complex relationship between the brain and behavior. These comprehensive assessments delve into cognitive abilities, emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns to provide valuable insights into an individual’s neurological strengths and weaknesses. By examining various cognitive domains such as attention, memory, language, executive functions, and visual-spatial skills, neuropsychological evaluations offer a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s cognitive profile. This understanding is vital for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and developing targeted interventions as well as serving as a baseline assessment, allowing for monitoring of cognitive changes over time. Ultimately, these evaluations play a pivotal role in optimizing outcomes, guiding interventions, and improving the overall quality of life for individuals facing neurological challenges.

If not now when? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy Korngold, MS, LMHC, CASAC

Many obstacles occur throughout our lifetime, some we have coping tools to resolve and some we have more difficulties to work through. Therapy/Coaching is an essential part of a person's life to address some of those challenges. We don't often see what is right in front of us and sometimes we need to dig deeper to gain insight and understanding to a productive perspective. I will provide you with an interactive and a proactive approach and guide you with healthy coping tools to obtain your successes in life, personally and professionally. Anger Management Group-a ten week course that is being offered to court mandated clients and to those who are seeking resolution with their anger issues

Are you looking for a therapist who will not only listen to you, but also speak and offer constructive feedback, instead of just sitting quietly in the background? For many people, it is important to find a therapist who will work to understand you and also actively help you learn about yourself and make changes that lead to a happier life. Some clients have told me that they tried psychotherapy in the past and shared much with the therapist, but ultimately left therapy feeling they received little in return. In my 12 years as a psychologist in Manhattan, I have always been straightforward and interactive with clients. At the same time, I am also a good listener and view my client as a partner in the therapeutic process. My goal—our goal—is to enhance your self-awareness and therefore enable you to become liberated from self-defeating patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The purpose of my work is to decrease your suffering while helping you fulfill your unique potential as an individual. I take what I do very seriously, but I also believe there is a place for humor in my work. I see no contradiction between sometimes being playful while always remaining an effective, serious, and focused healer. My main priority is to create a setting in which you feel understood and free to express and learn about yourself. Creating such an atmosphere always varies depending on the individual. This means that together, over time, we will “custom-fit” your therapy to facilitate your psychological growth.

I believe each of us has the ability to change. A therapist in Brooklyn, NY. I assist individuals and couples to better understand themselves and create healthy, successful relationships. I provide couples counseling, marriage counseling, family therapy, and relationship counseling to improve communication and end conflicts. Other areas of focus include: resolving issues of anger and stress and overcoming depression, shyness and anxiety. In addition to assisting people with the problems of self-esteem, aging, and self-assertion, I work with individuals coping with illness, grief and loss. Concentrating on individual, relationship and parenting issues. I support people in exploring emotions and overcoming barriers to communication so positive relationships can result. Each individual has unique qualities and talents. Through therapy, we can free ourselves from what holds us back, keeping us from achieving what we want in life. As a writer, I am especially interested in working with writers and creative artists to develop and free their creativity. In addition to providing therapy, I write articles, train therapists at CHD and have taught at the New School ("Exploring the Mind/Body Connection") and Learning Annex ("Stop Being Nice").

At Keene Murray Therapy, our approach to helping people is: Creative. Our work is shaped both by our immersion in creative arts and by our extensive background in a variety of psychological approaches. Respectful. We recognize that our clients are the only ones who can truly tell their story. Our function is to help clients identify and achieve their goals. Non-pathologizing. We believe that most problems are simply former solutions that no longer work. We help clients discover more adaptive means to meet life's challenges. Collaborative. We value the interpersonal quality of a therapeutic relationship that acknowledges the effects and influences that both client and therapist contribute. Depth-oriented. Experience has shown us that significant change has its roots in the multi-layered interconnectedness of a person's inner life. We accompany clients as they explore and learn to navigate this strange and exciting territory. Groups I work with include: Elders facing adjustment or end-of-life issues, couples (including gays/lesbians) with relationship difficulties, families experiencing inter-generational problems, victims of trauma (e.g., car accidents, violent attacks, natural disasters), children and teens needing psychological assessment of intellectual and/or emotional functioning. We offer phone and video-conference therapy sessions. Home/site visits are available in our neighborhood. We operate on a fee-for-service basis, accepting payments by cash or check. We provide receipts for insurance reimbursement purposes. Check with your insurance company about their out-of-network policy.

I believe what is accomplished in psychotherapy is co-created by both the patient and the therapist. I am interactive and relational. I have training and experience in a wide variety of issues and have worked with people from many different backgrounds. I believe in tailoring the treatment to the individual rather than trying to fit the person into a particular theory. Therapy is about self-actualization. There are many roadblocks to becoming the person we want to be. I see therapy as a way of understanding and eliminating these blocks. Self-knowledge provides us with choices. When we understand our patterns, it becomes easier to get past them. I specialize in LGBTQ issues and work with individuals and couples. My practice is diverse in terms of age, ethnicity, and sexuality and gender identification. I have extensive experience with trauma and survivors of sexual abuse. I love my work and have a natural curiousity and interest in people.

I am a New York State-licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, and Nationally Certificed Mental Health Counselor, located in Park Slope, Brooklyn. My specialties include Support of Family building and Infertilty Issues including inability to conceive, pregnancy loss and maintaining one's emotional well being during a difficult journey toward becoming a parent. I also have an expertise in the Treatment of severe and chronic Mental Health conditions, including Mood and Anxiety Disorders, etc.

I am an experienced family therapist. I work with married and unmarried couples, with families, and do individual work with adults. My experience is that when working with children and teenagers around the whole variety of issues that bring them into treatment, it is quicker and more effective to work with the whole family together than to work with the child alone. For children their families are central and shifts in the family impact on children and adolescents in a powerful way that therapists working alone cannot match. I also work with families where issues have arisen between adult parents and children and between adult siblings. I also have found hypnotherapy to be a useful tool particularly in helping people to deal with issues of anxiety and depression. As a family therapist I am always attentive tho the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. I am attentive to the patterns that develop in families and couples and how those become stuck, and how to help people change them. I also try and pay attention to the positive aspects of people's lives, their strengths and resources and how to enhance those. Often, in difficult circumstances attention becomes over focused on problems and strengths get ignored. Families can create problems but they are also a source of healing. My office is in midtown Manhattan. I do have some evening hours. I have a sliding scale. For people who are unsure about starting therapy, or wish to meet with me before making a decision, I am happy to set up a free meeting to talk with them.

You are struggling with the relationships in your life. Perhaps your primary relationship leaves you unfulfilled, disappointed or you find it is full of conflict. Maybe the same feelings of hurt and sadness keep surfacing, arguments are repetitive or you look across the table and wonder why you are together at all. Or, you are out there looking for the right person to share your life with, yet find yourself attracting the wrong people again and again. Worse, you avoid the dating scene altogether, giving up. Maybe you recently suffered a breakup, divorce. These same feelings and conflicts follow you into the workplace, as you miss that promotion or the best projects go to your colleagues. You're business isn't growing the way you expected. Your difficulty connecting is making it harder to network, you're not feeling secure in your environment. You are tired of these issues resurfacing and you are ready to take action. You are looking for someone who will help you untangle the knots, identify the patterns and change the behavior. Contact me with questions or schedule a free 30-minute consultation. Credit cards accepted for full fee.

We are also widely recognized for our trail-blazing work in the sex therapy field and are AASECT-certified sex therapists. But we do work with all kinds of people to provide our individual, family and relationship therapy services.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide a wide range of therapeutic services in the central and northern New Jersey region. Though I have experience working with people of all ages, my specialty is treating adolescents and young professionals, specifically those going through transition (changing schools, choosing a career, parents are going through a divorce, etc). I treat individuals, couples, and families using an integrated approach combining humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral theory. My experience has included working with children at a pediatric hospital and with gifted adolescents in a public school setting. I have worked extensively with children, adults and families at a group private practice in southern California. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I conducted various psychological testing and ADHD evaluations. Having completed my doctoral project/dissertation on caregivers of breast cancer patients, I have a special interest in working with individuals and their families who are dealing with medical conditions.

Are you feeling confused? Unfulfilled? Not sure where to turn? It might be time to ask for help. In my practice each person is a unique individual, and believe we each need this validation for there to be growth and development. As a Creative Arts Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst, and Clinical Social Worker, and EMDR practitioner, my aim is to meet your needs using whichever approach is most effective. Art making is always an option, but not necessary, as verbal timing is also an integral part of the healing process. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Often feelings of discontent stem from unrealized overwhelming experiences, past or present. In session we explore these areas, and discover what is most relevant for you. My specialization is in relational attachment, creative blocks, and trauma. Modalities include art therapy, talk therapy, and EMDR.
